We were lucky to catch up with James Lanham recently and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, James thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. What do you think Corporate America gets wrong in your industry? Any stories or anecdotes that illustrate why this matters?
In the industry, Corporate America often gets the need for monthly SEO commitments wrong. Take our organization, Position Punisher Agency, for instance, owned by James Lanham. We believe that WordPress is the most powerful website creation platform globally, and when utilized perfectly, monthly commitments become unnecessary. Many of our competitors charge their clients on a monthly basis, which can add up significantly over time.
Our approach emphasizes providing the best on-page and off-page SEO services to ensure long-term success for our clients. This stance not only saves them money but also leads to more sustainable and effective results. It’s about focusing on quality rather than locking clients into ongoing financial obligations. This, we believe, is a key aspect that Corporate America often overlooks in our industry.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
I began my journey with Position Punisher before the pandemic hit. I was operating my business from a tiny room, all on my own. It was a challenging time, and I had to find help online. I turned to a freelancing platform to get assistance with developing a website for my garage door business and optimizing it for search engines. That’s when I connected with an individual from India who played a crucial role in developing my website.
However, as we were working together, the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, wreaking havoc on many businesses. I was repeatedly investing significant funds into my online presence, and it was during this time that I made a pivotal decision. I decided to establish my own company, which led to the birth of Position Punisher Agency. Our mission was to provide website development and local SEO services at affordable rates, not only to support my business but also to assist other local businesses in Ohio in their recovery from the pandemic.
In this journey, I assumed the role of CEO and Founder of Position Punisher Agency.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
A lesson I had to unlearn was how I approached emotional values and self-worth. Growing up for me was not easy, I suffered from poor decisions, and a lack of good support that led me to my toxic actions for many years as a young adult. I internalized a mindset of survival that often undervalued emotions and connections. I believed suppressing feelings was the key to staying strong and navigating life’s challenges. While that mindset served me in difficult times, it also became a barrier to personal growth and meaningful relationships.
As I stepped into my professional journey, I realized that true strength comes from understanding and embracing emotions, not dismissing them. I began reconditioning my mindset—replacing survival-driven habits with a growth-oriented perspective. By doing this, I’ve been able to cultivate better relationships, lead with empathy, and create outcomes rooted in purpose rather than fear.
We’d love to hear the story of how you turned a side-hustle into a something much bigger.
